contract for the sale of goods

I’ve downloaded a couple of precedent contracts over the past few months from the crowd-sourced contract application Docracy for use in my legal practice. When I needed a simple contract for the sale of goods today, I checked in to see what was available. Finding no such agreement, I decided to finally make a contribution. You can see my handiwork here.

Several weeks ago I explored the idea of minimum effective legal protection in my post Considering a Contract’s Legal-Battle Rating. The gist is that in any given situation there’s a minimum level of legal protection that a contract — or a clause — should provide. Falling below that level leaves a party overly exposed to business and legal risks. When I drafted the sample I contributed to Docracy, I sought to achieve a seller-friendly MELP version of a simple business-to-business contract for the sale of goods to be used when there’s no special reason to think that the agreement will be litigated.

I’ve inserted the sample agreement below. What do you think? Would the document provide effective protection for a low-stakes run-of-the-mill B2B sale of goods, or have I omitted a clause that would leave my sale-side client unduly exposed? Is there any dead weight I could throw overboard?
